State: Kentucky | Prayers please!
I'm scheduled to be banded a week from tomorrow BUT I woke up with the worst cough/cold I've ever had in my life. I've had this bronchitis for almost three months now so the surgeon had already scheduled me for a chest x-ray on Tuesday. I'm so frustrated and upset that this might put off my surgery for another month!
Please pray that I'll miraculously get better for the chest x-ray. AND if that doesn't work...pray that I won't have a meltdown when the surgery is postponed. =(
Thank you!

I hope your cough lets up. I would definitely not want to be coughing those first 2 days after surgery. I was afraid to LAUGH! lol

Thank you so much, girls!
I don't smoke but you'd think I did as much as I keep bronchitis! I'm feeling a little better tonight...still holding out for that miracle! =)

Potentially positive news...
I just talked to my surgeon's nurse and told her how sick I am and asked if it was worth my time to go for the chest x-ray tomorrow. She said that he rarely, RARELY cancels a surgery unless the patient has a high fever. That's encouraging news. I'll keep you posted! Keep praying!

Glad you are feeling better. Keep up with the liquids, that makes a diffence. I have Asthma and suffer from chronic coughs a lot. 64 ounces of water a day makes a big difference. Good luck! You are almost there.

Gibson,
I'm pulling for you. I went through almost the same thing. I was diagnosed with pneumonia 3 weeks before my surgery. However, really strong antibiotics and a few other drugs helped me through it. I have to get one more chest x-ray this week before my surgery next Monday. I'm sure everything will be just fine.
Take extra care of yourself and you will shake this bronchitis!

Thank you guys! I love this place. =) One new thing that may be in my favor is that tomorrow is going to be snowy and bad so I might not be able to make the trip. If I have to go later in the week I'll have more time to get better! =)
